INTRODUCTION
Equality and diversity is one of the important topic in today’s time. There is key role of
treating all the employees effectively in an organisation (Stenhouse, 2021). There is diversity of
employees that are working together and there is need of treating all of them equally. This helps
to promote the behaviour of equality among them and motivate them to work. Each and every
company must follow ethics so that they are able to operate smoothly. In this essay there is
evaluation related to equality and diversity as one of the ethical issue. Different examples are

dependent on the ethics being followed so that right actions must be taken. There is need of
